À propos de ce livre

Entire nations were redesigned around a single crop. Behind the image of tropical abundance stood fragile governments, foreign creditors, and diplomatic negotiations shaped by commercial dependency. This account of the Banana Wars examines how customs revenue, infrastructure loans, and shipping agreements tied Central American states to powerful agricultural corporations. Rather than portraying intervention as isolated military action, the narrative follows administrative collapse, manipulated elections, and legal frameworks written to favor export monopolies. Drawing from declassified diplomatic correspondence, archival banking records, and early twentieth-century trade agreements, the book reconstructs the political machinery that enabled companies such as the United Fruit Company to influence taxation, labor regulation, and constitutional authority. Railroads connected plantations to ports while bypassing local development, creating economies vulnerable to price fluctuations and external pressure. The resulting instability affected peasant communities, urban workers, and military institutions alike. The Banana Wars became a defining chapter in the relationship between capitalism and sovereignty. Their legacy survives in debates about multinational power, debt dependency, and the limits of national independence in global markets.
